SOB holsters are called that for a reason. It's a double-acronym.

Let me know how much 'coaxing' you need in order to draw that thing while sitting in a car or at a restaurant.


Cloth can be snaggy. especially with the lip of the seam where they hem it with the extra reinforcing 'edge' which is very prone to snagging ESPECIALLY those 'uncle mike' things with the padded interior... it's like a mesh? not sure what kind of cloth they use for a liner but it's about the most snag-prone stuff I ever saw. Leather has the advantage of not needing a 'lip' at the edge, and not being so squishy to fill in and snag on every bump of your sights and other 'horns' that may exist, and can be very smooth to draw from.

I hear a properly made Kydex holster can be just as comfortable. I don't think there is a faster drawing material than the teflon-like inner surface of a properly made Kydex holster. I doubt I'd ever own one, but I know people who love them.

I go IWB strong side in the summer, and in the winters here, which warrant a jacket enough that you can wear one all day, I go with shoulder holster. Despite what people say, I find shoulder carry to be comfortable and one of the more accessible positions, especially while seated, and is most easily concealed, provided you are sure that you will not be taking your coat off.

try a spring clip. They are fast as hell.
